PRESS SECRETARY ROBERT GIBBS

“OBAMA SPOKESMAN GIBBS SOUNDS EAGER FOR FUTURE STRATEGIST ROLE”

WOW! When I read that headline to an article in the April 13th Washington Post my heart skipped a couple of beats. If that story is true, it is something that gives me great pause because there is very little in the utterances of Robert Gibbs that conforms to my thought processes.

I suggest you take a peek at the Post article:

We all know that Washington is filled with individuals who thrive on huge egos and ambition, but I for one feel that the White House media corps under serves the electorate when they do little or no vetting of these second tier power brokers. All too frequently the underlying motivations of individuals come forward after it is too late. Robert Gibbs is an unpolished unaccomplished student of Washington double-speak who rarely directly answers a question posed to him.

It is your Commander’s opinion that Gibbs is a blowviater whose partisanship diminishes his ability to properly perform his duties. Gibbs, who is the President’s Press Secretary, totally ignores the fact that he really works for the people, and is paid with the people’s tax dollars. A simple YES or NO would be refreshing and spin free. Surely we will need intervention from a much higher order and protection should Gibbs become an individual of even greater influence in Obama’s floundering administration.
